Swivel Arm Battle Grip
Hop Butcher For The World

 

 

Hazy yellow body with a finger of white foam and lacing. Smell lets the hop bitters play more than the taste does, with candied passion fruit, pineapple, peach, lemon, grapefruit slight plum, pine and orange zest. Taste hits the sweet fruit more, interject some light passion fruit and apricot, with the hops leaning away from pine into floral. Feel is hazy with decent hop textures, sweeter, bright, and frothy.

 

16oz can, PKG 09/10/19. Hazed apple cider colored ale with a foamy beige head. Juicy & fruity aroma with mild citrus and pine. Very flavorful and well balanced with notes of zesty grapefruit and orange, stonefruit, apricot, and piney mango. Full creamy body, more sweet than bitter on the finish. Good, but not their best effort in my opinion.

 

 

 

 

The look is light orange and hazy. The aroma is citrus, lemon, peach, and pine. Lots of citrus in the taste with some pine coming in late. Nice mouthfeel.

 

 

Typical Hop Butcher malt bill and yeast. Full bodied and lots of flavor. Taste is similar to other beers in the lineup. Likely due to malt and yeast.

 

Canned 9/10/19; drank 9/13/19 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a small, bubbly, noisy off-white head; strong lace.

Tangerine, lemon & cane sugar notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Tangerine & mild cane sugar flavors up front; mild lemon & faint dry grass notes on the finish.

One of their better efforts!

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on September 12, 2019. Brewed with Amarillo, Citra and Wai-iti hops. The unique hop blend gives this some apricot and peach notes.
